Answer:

violet

Step-by-step explanation:

Violet has the highest frequency and is refracted the most. Red has the lowest frequency and is refracted the least. Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum

It would be Violet because it has the shortest wave length, while red has the longest wave length so it comes out the least of the colors.
